GOP Senator Admits Dads Deportation Was a ScrewupBut Says Hes Never Coming Back to the U.S. (The Daily Beast)A Republican senator says the deportation of a Maryland father to a megaprison in El Savador was the result of a screwup by the Trump administration.
But Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana said Kilmar Abrego Garcia was never going to be returned to the United States because the White House did not want to admit its mistake.
This was a screwup, in my opinion, Kennedy told NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday. The administration wont admit it, but this was a screwup. Mr. Garcia was not supposed to be sent to El Salvador. He was sent to El Salvador.

Apart from pointing out the administrations screwup in deporting Garcia, wrongly accused of being a member of the international criminal gang MS-13, the senator also broke ranks with President Donald Trump over his proposal to expand the El Salvador deportations to include American citizens as well.
